Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alyssa and I’d love to meet your fur baby! I have over 2 years of experience working in a doggy daycare/boarding facility and 5 years in a veterinary clinic. Also a lifetime of experience caring for dogs (and other animals.) I grew up on a farm providing care for the livestock and the dogs that guard them, as well as all the barn kitties. I completed the Pet Tech PetSaver program in January 2017 and learned Pet first aid and other life saving measures. I renewed this certification in 2019. This will help to guarantee I am one of the most qualified to care for your baby. I hope to hear from you soon!

Alyssa is amazing as always! She is always quick to respond with any questions I have! This time she was great to make a plan B when wintery weather was coming in! My boys were safe and cared even when I was halfway around the world!
